Palmitoylethanolamide Origin, History and Background

The chemical name of PeaPure is N-palmitoylethanolamide. (This is often abbreviated as PEA, although this can be confusing because PEA can refer to other substances.)

Palmitoylethanolamide is an natural (endogenous) fatty acid amide belonging to the family known as N-acylethanolamines (NAE's; or N-acylethanolamides), including 'cannabis-like' compounds such as N-arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide, AEA).
